| A Gypsy mutant industrial vacuum cleaner dances about a mysterious night time camp fire. Festoons. Dozens of imported castanets, clutched by the horrible suction of its heavy duty hose, waving with marginal erotic abandon in the midnight autumn air.

| Album notes by FZ
|
| All the vocals in this album were a preview of the story from “200 Motels”.
|
| Coming. Soon. Near. You.
|
| Don’t it ever get lonesome?
|
| Yeah! Sure gets lonesome
|
| Don’t it ever get sad when you go out on the road?
|
| Oh, there was one time in Minneapolis when I thought I had the clap for sure
|
| Don’t it ever get lonesome?
|
| “Lonesome” ain’t the word
|
| Don’t it ever get sad when you go out on a thirty day tour?
|
| Oh, I’ll take away
|
| You got nothing but groupies and promoters to love you
|
| And a pile of laundry by the hotel door
|
|
|
| Don’t it ever get lonesome?
|
| Don’t it ever give a young man the blues?
|
| Don’t it ever get lonesome?
|
| Don’t it ever make a young man wanna go back home?
|
| When the PA system eats it
|
| And the band plays some of the most terrible shit you’ve ever known
|
|
|
| Don’t you ever miss your house in the country and your ✄ hot little mama too?
|
| Don’t you ever miss your house in the country and your hot little mama too?
|
| Don’t you better get a shot from the doctor? What the ROAD ladies DO to you?
|
|
|
| [Instrumental]
|
|
|
| I know someday I will never
|
| I’ll never go out on the road again
|
| I know someday I will never
|
| I ain’t gonna roam the countryside no more
|
| I’m gonna hang up them ol’ Holiday Inns, yeah
|
| And heal my knees up from when I was doin’ it on the floor
|
| See me doing it!
|
| See me do it on the floor
|
|
|
| Don’t you ever miss your house in the country and your hot little mama too?
|
| Don’t you ever miss your house in the country and your hot little mama too?
|
| Don’t you better get a shot from the doctor? What the ROAD ladies DO to you?
